The playoff plans for the Grand Rapids Drive won't change following the death Monday of Zeke Upshaw, team President Steve Jbara said.

"They want to play, they want to play to remember him," Jbara said. "I think they all were trying to wrap their heads around what Zeke would want and they all came out that they wanted to play, play hard and give it their best shot."

The team plans to wear a "Zeke" patch on the jersey, Jbara said, likely on a shoulder.

Upshaw, a 26-year-old forward, collapsed with 40 seconds remaining in Saturday's game at the DeltaPlex Arena against Long Island. After he was tended to and taken by stretcher to the hospital, the final moments of the game were played out. The Drive won to secure the franchise's first playoff berth.

The Drive, the second seed in the six-team Eastern Conference, will play in the single-elimination opener at Raptor 905s in Mississauga, Ontario. The game was moved by the league from Wednesday to 7 p.m. Friday.

The team was scheduled for a light shoot-around Monday morning.

"The courage they are showing from the last 48 hours has been amazing," Jbara said of the team. "From him collapsing to the hospital and everything that has gone on as been impressive. It has been hard on them."
